This is my final front cover for my heavy metal magazine 'SHRED'. I have used certain generic elements to create a look that is suitable for a mainstream audience of heavy music listeners. These include: The connotations that the main image of eddy gives, his angry expression and pointed finger, bald head, plug ear piercing and the flying v guitar. These things are all associated with heavy metal.

The house style that i have used is bold , metallic fonts for the headings and masthead and a bold , red , copperplate gothic font which rumns throughout the pages. Other stereotypically 'metal' elements are the smaller pictures of people with long hair playing instruments, the flames at the bottom of the page and the yellow 'warning' logo in the top left hand corner.
